    Basically, what you want to do is send a line of text without a LF at the
    end.  Just set_connection_option(player, "binary", 1); to make the
    connection NOT append LFs to output text, and notify(player, "prompt> ").
    Then set_connection_option(player, "binary", 0) to get it back to the
    regular mode.
